This list tracks what has happened when companies have raised capital by way of a PAITREO. The most important point is whether non-participating institutional or retail shareholders receive the bigger compensation payment from separate bookbuilds and at the moment retail have 10 wins (assuming Costa holds), instos 15 and there have been 5 draws.
30. Costa Exchange, October-November 2019: $176 million 1-for-4 PAITREO at $2.20 launched when the stock last traded at $3.46. The $87 million institutional component was 88% subscribed and the shortfall cleared at $2.30, returning 10c to non-participants. The stock finished at $2.63 when trading resumed on October 30 so institutional investors who participated finished in a much better position. The $9 million retail offer finished $66m or 74% subscribed and the 10.8 million shortfall shares cleared at $2.50 on November 21. The 30c compensation payment to non-participating retail investors was 3 times the 10c payment to non-participating institutions, so a win for retail ending a run of 5 wins for the instos on the compensation stakes. A total of 3.8m rights were traded at an average price of 54c so the better option was to get out on market.

2018 - 4 in total
29. Nufarm, September 2018: $303 million 3-for 19 PAITREO at $5.85 launched when the stock was at $6.64. Quoted a 90% institutional take-up but this excluded largest shareholder Sumitomo which received 50c a share from the shortfall offer which cleared at $6.35. No transaction just a profit warning due to the drought. The insto offer raised $238 million but there was no precise disclosure of how much came from the shortfall offer. Institutional offers Separately announced $31 million commitment from retail investors but the 6.2 million retail shortfall shares finished short so no compensation for non participants. UBS and Macquarie shared in a 1.9% fee. Another win for non-participating instos, including Sumitomo which was diluted from 18.4% down to below 16%. It was asked to pony up $55.7 million for 9.53 million shares but instead received $4.76 million in compensation and means the institutional shortfall offer was actually offering 12.63 million shares at a take up price of $74 million but which cleared at $80.3 million including the 50c premium.
No gap
28. Transurban. September 2018: $4.2b 10-for-57
PAITREO at $10.80 with the stock trading at $12.06 before it was launched. There was also a $600m placement at $10.85. The $3 billion institutional offer was 96% subscribed with the $120 million shortfall clearing at a $1 premium of $11.80. The $1.222 billion retail offer offered rights trading from September 5 until September 11 and traded between 40c and $1.01 with a VWAP of 55c. The retail offer was 67.56% subscribed as 53,800 investors bought $827m new shares. The shortfall of 36.7m shares cleared at $11, raising $403.7 million and giving about 47,000 non-participants a 20c compensation payment collectively worth $7.34 million. Was disappointing to see the share price crash from $11.48 to $11.13 in the 2 days before the retail auction and then bounce back to close at $11.24 on the day after, giving bidders in the auction a one day gain of $8.8 million. Another win for instos who got $1 versus 20c, but confirms that was better for retail to exit on market. In hindsight, Transurban should have pre-sold some of the retail shortfall.
6 month gap.
27. APA. March 2018: $500m 1-for-17 at $7.70. The $288m institutional offer was 96% subscribed and the shortfall cleared at $8.00 giving 30c to non-participants.

The $930 million retail offer retail offer opened on February 21 and rights trading ran from February 19 until February 28 with the shortfall auction scheduled for March 12. Given the market weakness in recent days, the rights have never traded above the $2.60 which non-participating institutions received so this looks like an offer where institutions will finish in front of retail. Indeed, retail shareholders only received $1.60 so a clear win for institutions. The VWAP for rights trading was $1.80 so shareholders did better exiting on market.
